"I went to rehab this time. I was like, ‘I’m gonna I’m gonna actually do it so I could save some of this money I’m making and stop blowing it on rehab," the 32-year-old American comedian and actor noted.
He went on sharing that, "I did family week, [which is] when, with your therapist, you Zoom your family, and they tell you how difficult it is for them to watch you do drugs."

The father of one further said becoming a girl dad also made it "harder" for him to watch p**n, which sparked widespread outrage.
As one said online, "Hey, so that’s a really weird thing to say."
"Hey, it’s actually not, and you’re just a weird dumbfuck for thinking that. It’s a joke about developing empathy for women after having a daughter, creep," another lashed out.
While a third called him "disgusting" for publicly humiliating fatherhood.
